Adrift thoughts
Were surrounded.
Beat, bullied, tied up.
Locked them up in words.
With an ink-thirst spear,
Imprisoned on a sheet.
They,
Sougth some attention.
Over and again. Distraught,
Cried for little help.
And finally, when a lover's
Eyes caught them.
Had them linger on lips.
Redeemed they were.
